(I and I alone would be responsible, just keep working. I’m responsible for you. I’ll be the one to send you to jail. If you rape three I’ll take the blame for it. If you take a fourth wife, you’ll be beaten up.)"

(They will rape Filipinas then give them US visa, provide livelihood for their family, then that’s it. No more problem, no liability. That what I meant. It’s the American soldiers who do that, not Filipinos.)

During the elections, a video where Duterte narrated the hostage taking at Davao Metrodiscom in 1989 went viral for his comments on the rape and murder of Australian missionary Jacqueline Hamill. He said:

(They raped all the women. One of them was the lay minister who was Australian. Such a waste. I thought, they raped her. They fell in line to rape her there. I was mad. Because she was raped? Well, yes, that’s one. But in raping beautiful women, the mayor should go first.)

Duterte defended his remark in a media interview, saying it was not a joke. He was merely narrating what happened in gutter language “in (the) heat of anger.”

In another YouTube video, Duterte narrated another story where a Jesuit priest asked what his sins were.

Although unclear whether it really happened, Duterte recounted how he supposedly sexually violated a domestic worker.

Duterte said he went to the room of the worker and touched her:

“I lifted the blanket. Then? I lifted it higher and I, just touched her. Okay I can understand you. Here's the punishment, Our Father, Hail Mary. But what did you do after? I went to the bathroom. And? You know. So that was the only... No, father. Why? I went back and peeped a little longer. Ang what... I went back to the bathroom again. Again?”
